Sport Arabia Director, Matthew Jackson, has been in business in the Middle East, in particular Dubai, for the last ten years, and for the last three has been organising tours to, and tournaments in, the UAE. He plays cricket himself, and has two cricket playing sons of secondary school age, and therefore has a good understanding of what sports tours should be providing for students.
Sport Arabia Co–Director, David Hallam, is also an experienced sportsman and coach, primarily in the football arena, although he did once play sevens in a team with Brian Moore! A former university 1st XI captain, he is still playing veterans football in the south east and coaching his children in girls’ football, and is qualified to Level 2 of his FA coaching award.
Our rugby specialist, Bruce Evans, has been involved in rugby as player, teacher and coach for over thirty years. He spent fifteen years as a PE teacher, and combined this role with positions as Head of Year and Head of Sixth Form. He has played rugby in South Wales, England, New Zealand, Canada, and Zimbabwe and is still playing veterans’ rugby in France. He holds a Level 3 Coaching Award from the WRU and has run successful school teams at all levels, as well as major school tours to South Africa, both at U16 level.
